Chapter 596: Hell-level Difficulty in Defending the City [6000 Words]

Compared to the first wave of the beast tide, the intensity of this battle has more than doubled.

When the tide of beasts finally slowly receded again, it was already dawn.

This battle was fought from the time when the sun had not yet set to the next day, when the sun rose again, all night!

There was no longer peace on the city, and there was a lot of groaning.

A large number of healing soul masters rescued the wounded on the city, and the turquoise light of life was everywhere.

After the night's fighting, more than 100 soldiers were killed and more than 500 wounded.

The dead were all ordinary soldiers, and the vast majority of the wounded were basically soul masters.

There's no way around it.

In the face of soul beasts, even if it is only a ten-year or hundred-year soul beast, it is a desperate gap in combat power for ordinary people.

Not everyone can be as demonic as Qian Chaoguang and Ji Jiechen, who have the power to kill hundred-year-old soul beasts before they become soul masters.

These soul beasts often only need one or two attacks, which is enough to kill ordinary people in an instant.

Even if they wore full-body plate armor made of iron mothers, they could not escape the fate of being crushed.

The injured are basically out of danger under the powerful healing ability of Qian Chaoguang, and they can be taken over by many healing soul masters, which is probably good news.

But the number of more than 100 killed in the battle is not a small number for the Shrek City Defenses, and it is enough to worry many people.

There are only 7,000 ordinary soldiers in the Shrek City Defense Army!

Of course, in this night's battle, the soul beasts on the side of the Star Dou Great Forest were not having a good time.

The number of soul beasts they lost should be at least thirty or forty thousand, and there were many of them at the level of 10,000 years.

Now that the sun has just risen and the Phnom Penh has been rounded, the light of countless soul rings is shining on the ground that is still slightly dark, which is extremely conspicuous.

These soul rings are one after another, like flowers blooming on the banks of the Lechuan River.

Standing at the head of the city, Qian Chaoguang could feel a large number of souls piling up here.

There are even a large number of souls that have been turned into soul fragments under the roar of the custom-installed soul guide cannonballs, making the environment here more and more secluded.

Incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs are both extremely masculine and extremely lethal to spirits.

These dead soul beasts didn't even have a chance to be reincarnated, and their souls were directly shattered on the spot by the aftermath of the explosion.

The Zhuge God Ballista also suffered a lot of damage in this round of beast tide.

In addition to a few guns that were damaged inside the barrels due to forced firing during the overheating phase, there were more than a dozen guns that were forcibly destroyed by the soul beasts.

The Zhuge God Ballista was placed relatively far forward, and its huge volume was extremely easy to become the target of the soul beasts' attacks.

Some of these damaged Zhuge God ballistae were destroyed by the 10,000-year-old soul beasts that rushed up, and some were blown up by the long-range soul beasts that concentrated their firepower.

A total of twenty-one Zhuge God ballistae were removed and moved into the space inside the city wall.

Xuan Ziwen is now taking his soul masters to repair it - he declined the help of Qian Duoduo and the teachers and students of the soul guide department.

What you make yourself, you are most familiar with.

It's faster to repair, and it's more tacit to work with.

The Mecha Legion played a great role in the night battle.

These big guys made of special alloys are tireless, strong in attack and defense, and have resisted many tough attacks at the forefront.

The blood of countless soul beasts spurted in front of the mech, and none of the hundred mechs appeared intact.

Countless traces of being scratched by soul beasts appeared on the front armor of the mecha, and some of them were cut on the mecha that had run out of sealed milk bottles and had no time to replace them, and even the oscillating fire blades were cut down.

The soul masters and soul masters who were responsible for driving the all-terrain self-propelled turret have also come out now.

Together with the mechists, they tried to repair the wounds suffered by the mech, and sharpened the huge blades of the curly blades to sharpness.

Fortunately, the frontal armor of the mecha is very powerful, and there is no serious damage, basically just some "skin trauma".

Otherwise, once such a high-precision equipment is damaged, it will not be as easy to repair as the Zhuge God Ballista, and it will definitely not be able to continue fighting in a short period of time.

This is just the first day of the beast tide.

From the beginning of the battle to the present, the time did not even exceed twenty-four hours.

The damage to the soul guide, the consumption of the feeding bottle and the fixed soul guide cannonball is still not the most important.

The most important thing is the exhaustion of the fighters.

Millions of beasts can take turns to attack, and there are only so many guards in Shrek City, and they have to be spread to the four city walls, so there is no room for rotation at all.

Even if you had rested for about two hours beforehand, it was not enough.

Whether or not a unit can get enough rest is the basis for whether or not a unit can fight a protracted war.

Why did the Blue Star countries during the Second World War distribute illegal drugs to soldiers who would be sentenced to death today for selling more than a certain number of grams?

Even a country that claims to be a beacon of the world is no exception.

It is to be able to keep the soldiers energetic to fight even when they are sleepy without rest.

Shrek has done a lot of research on drugs, but he hasn't studied anything about it.

But fortunately, Shrek Academy has a large number of food-based soul masters.

The soul skill food provided by the food system soul masters is the best and safest substitute material, which can help the participants quickly recover from their tired body and mind.

After the beast tide ended, except for those soul masters and soul masters with high cultivation, the vast majority of people were so tired that they didn't want to move, and they fell asleep as soon as they sat down underground.

Even the soul master elites in Shrek's city defense army and most of Shrek's inner court disciples were very tired.

They collapsed to the ground one after another, or leaned against the city wall, soul guides, and all-terrain self-propelled soul guide batteries, panting for breath while eating the soul skill food handed over by the food system soul master.

In this case, it is difficult to even meditate to restore soul power.

As soon as you close your eyes, you will fall asleep within a few seconds.

More than twelve hours of non-stop fighting, without any replenishment, without any rest.

Soul masters can still rely on soul power for support, but ordinary soldiers have completely reached their limit, and most of them are unable to fight again.

Nearly seventy percent of the sealed bottles were depleted in last night's battle and had to be recharged before they could be reused.

The soul masters above the Soul Emperor level were taking turns to rest and clean up the battlefield, and they all maintained a relatively strong spirit and relatively intact combat power.

The Titled Douluo did not go all out last night, but still maintained a certain degree of restraint, taking turns to attack and relieve the pressure.

This is a last resort.

Once they attack with all their strength, after the soul power consumption reaches a certain level, the 100,000-year-old soul beasts and fierce beasts on the side of the Star Dou Great Forest will have to make a move.

Among the remaining four fierce beasts, the Red King only had 300,000 years of cultivation.

The combat power is only above level ninety-seven, and it is not difficult to resist.

Brigitte focuses on healing and defense, which can be ignored to a certain extent, as long as she focuses on dealing with the beast tide.

Xiong Jun has courage and no brains.

Don't look at it, it has a cultivation of up to 470,000 years, and its combat power has reached the peak of level ninety-eight, but a few Super Douluo can contain it when they join forces.

The most troublesome and fearful thing for Shrek's side is the Ten Thousand Demon King, a plant-based fierce beast.

Not only does it have combat power comparable to the Extreme Douluo-level, but its ability is almost unknown, and the ability information is completely zero.

In the face of such an unknown opponent, Shrek is not even very good at defense.

Even Qian Chaoguang was a little powerless.

The pen and ink portrayal of the Ten Thousand Demon King in the original book is really too little, and the number of shots is even few, and only a few words in the legend of the Dragon King can be used as a reference.

The only good news is that the Ten Thousand Demon King is a pure control system Extreme Douluo, and his frontal combat power is not strong, and he will even be stabilized by Xiong Jun in a single head-on.

The bad news is......

With such a top-level control system present, it will greatly affect Shrek's defense.

In the original book, it was this Ten Thousand Demon King who relied on his own strength, and under the situation of Shrek's successive reinforcements, he almost single-handedly broke through the defense of one side of the city wall.

Because of this, the Ten Thousand Demon King is the focus of Qian Chaoguang's attention.

Shrek City is now an isolated city.

The subordinates who went to various countries to ask for help have also sent back the news.

The emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire no longer had reinforcements in his hands to send them out, which was within the expectation of Qian Chaoguang.

After so many days of defensive battles in Heaven Dou City, they had reached the point where they were almost exhausted, and it was difficult to squeeze out more strength.

The entire heavenly soul belongs to the state of the mud bodhisattva crossing the river - it is difficult to protect itself.

On the Xingluo side, Xu Jiawei is still sensible in this kind of major right and wrong.

Even if the Soul Master Legion hadn't completely withdrawn, he still sent out many of the Titled Douluo in the Worship Hall, and now he was rushing to Shrek City with all his might.

It's just that it's a little later in terms of timing.

The Star Dou Great Forest was sandwiched between the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy, and the location of Star Luo City was still in the southeast of the Star Luo Empire.

The Titled Douluo who came to support had to make a huge circle from the northeast and enter through the Douling Empire in order to avoid falling directly into the encirclement of the million beast tide.

As for Dou Ling......

They did send reinforcements.

But the strength aspect is ......

It can only be said that talking is better than nothing, and something is better than nothing.

In the lonely city, there is only a battle to the death.

The civilians and merchants in Shrek City have all been mobilized.

Deliver food, water, and resources.

As soon as the fighting stopped, all kinds of resources were sent to the city.

Shrek City's wealth is recognized on the mainland, and the city's food stock is also abundant.

Led by some big merchants and big chambers of commerce, they provided free and nutritious food to the soldiers in the city.

Many merchants sent their guards and men from their chambers of commerce to the city.

As long as it is a soul master, they all obey the unified deployment of Shrek Academy.

They don't need to do anything else, just fill the sealed bottle with all their strength to ensure a sufficient supply of soul power.

There are not a few soul masters in Shrek City.

Maybe their general strength is not high, most of them are around the Great Soul Master and Soul Venerable, but together they are also a not weak force.

At least it can enhance Shrek City's overall soul power reserves, right?

As long as there are enough sealed milk bottles, Shrek City can rely on a large number of custom-installed soul guide shells and many soul guides provided by the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce to repel wave after wave of beast tides.

There are no eggs under the nest, and this truth is understood by everyone.

If the enemy is human, even if the city is breached, the civilians and merchants in the city will still have a chance to survive.

If you catch up with the army of a country like the Sun and Moon Empire that takes the civilian route, you can still survive well.

However, this time Shrek will face the enemy is a soul beast.

Once the city is broken, there is only one word in the end - death!

Therefore, at such a time, no amount of wealth is as important as one's own life.

To support Shrek is to save his own life, his own property, and his own future.

Now everyone in the city has been mobilized, and they have made a strong contribution, those who have materials, and those who have soul power, and they have made contributions to their abilities without hesitation.

As long as you can help, no matter people or things, all of them will be delivered.

The ordinary soldiers had already been withdrawn to rest, but the soul masters could only stay where they were for a while.

The attack speed of the soul beast army is too fast, and no one knows when the beast tide will attack again.

Qian Chaoguang transferred all the employees in the Shrek branch of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, and together with the Tang Sect disciples transferred by Tang Ya, he temporarily took over the operation of the Zhuge God Ballista.

Even so, Shi Xing had to harden his heart to wake up all the soul masters from their short sleep.

They can't sleep, they can only rest through meditation – the minimum standard for meditation has been reached after a brief eye closure.

Only in this way can you quickly recover your mental power and soul power.

Once the battle happens, it can also be put into the battlefield as soon as possible.

Qian Chaoguang did not directly participate in the battle all night, and used his powerful field control ability to save people and assist.

He knows himself very well.

With his current strength and ability, he will definitely be able to show his strength in the face of small-scale battles.

It can even be a one-man army, single-handedly crushing an elite team composed entirely of 10,000-year-old soul beasts and retreating.

But on such a large-scale battlefield, the results that he could create by directly participating in the battle were far inferior to those of He Caitou and Huo Yutong.

This is why Liu Tiezhu said that the high-level soul masters who play melee are sick in the brain - the melee soul master has completely given up the advantage of the traditional soul master dominating the battlefield and dominating large-scale battles, and he can't beat the traditional soul master alone, which is very embarrassing.

Chichao Light is typical.

He is completely opposite to Huo Yutong and Caitou.

The direction of his research is melee soul guides and soul guide armor, and he uses the power of soul guides to fully amplify his personal power.

Of course, both the Soul Master and the Forge are his sub-professions, so this kind of research idea is a kind of amplification for him.

The disadvantage of pursuing extremes like this is that he is obviously an eighth-level soul master, but he does not have the ability to harvest on a large scale, which is a bit embarrassing.

Even if Qian Chaoguang can cast a wide range of high-level light magic through chanting, it is not even as cost-effective as filling a few more milk bottles, so that the Zhuge God Ballista can put a few more rounds.

Therefore, during last night's battle, he mostly only used the Divine Healing to rescue the seriously wounded, and then used the Mimic of Light to throw them to the healing soul master for follow-up treatment.

Or use the Shared Light and Divine Guardian to add a protective lock to others, or use the Heavenly Barrier and the Octave Light Wheel to block incoming ranged attacks.

Wang Dong is even sighing: This goods that want money to die have begun to return to their old business and become a professional assistant, I really miss the pleasure of being able to kill indiscriminately with my eyes closed without thinking back then.

Shi Xing stood at the head of the city, with a very serious expression on his face.

As a city defense officer and the chief commander of the battlefield on the southern city wall, he is the hardest of all the Title Douluo.

Not only do you have to keep an eye on the overall situation and command the battle, but you also have to participate in the battle yourself, and you have little time to rest.

He had just inspected the state of defense on the city walls.

The picture is broadly optimistic, but not entirely optimistic.

The point of disbelief is that most of the fighters are too tired, and the huge difference in numbers makes this battle particularly difficult, and the supply of soul power is a big problem.

The optimism lies in the fact that there are enough high-power soul guides, enough ammunition for the custom-installed soul guide cannons, the power of the mecha is quite strong, and the support activities organized by the soul masters and civilians in the city have greatly alleviated the pressure on the soul power reserve.

The war has continued until now, and the all-terrain self-propelled batteries of the real soul eaters have not yet appeared.

In terms of the defensive strength of this kind of positional warfare, their suppressive power in a short period of time is even far greater than that of mechas.

But this is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Without him, all the attributes are focused on long-range attacks, which makes the consumption of soul power too great.

Even if the two drivers cooperate with the sealing of the bottle, it is a bit unbearable.

Unless it reaches the necessary stage, Shixing will not even consider activating these steel hedgehogs - the sealed bottles in the all-terrain self-propelled soul guide turret are also untouched, and they will remain in peak condition at all times.

Regarding the arrival of Dou Ling and Xingluo's reinforcements, Shi Xing, who knew some inside information, did not have too many expectations.

Even in the bottom of his heart, he didn't expect to do anything with these so-called reinforcements.

To be honest, judging from Shrek's current state, as long as the beast tide continues to fight at this intensity, it can give the warriors enough time to rest, and Shi Xing has enough confidence to wipe out all the millions of soul beasts here.

Formed soul guides form positions and legions, and this kind of defense and toughness are simply terrifyingly strong.

But Shi Xing is also very clear in his heart.

Their mere holding on to this beast tide does not mark the end of this war, it is only one of the most basic conditions before victory.

Once the poisonous immortal and Xuan Lao in the sky can no longer delay Emperor Tian, then all the results that Shrek has accumulated before will be wiped out in an instant.

All the advantages that have now been established could not be more appropriately described as a false prosperity.

In addition to Emperor Tian, another thing that worries Shi Xing is the desperate army of fierce beasts to suppress the realm.

If you first use cannon fodder to consume Shrek's soul power reserves at any cost, and then use 100,000-year-old soul beasts and 10,000-year-old soul beasts with deep cultivation to form a first-class force, and cooperate with the fierce beasts to attack in one fell swoop, then it may enter the stage of large-scale hand-to-hand combat.

Once this is reached, the number of casualties will increase dramatically, and attrition is the most fatal thing.

Now the fashion is already thinking about whether to drop a ninth-level customized soul guide cannonball in the next round of beast tide.

If used properly, it may be able to achieve the effect of killing the whole thing with one blow, greatly shocking the hearts of the soul beasts, and making them timid without a fight.

In Shi Xing's opinion, the only way to avoid direct confrontation with Emperor Tian is to beat the beast tide before the victory or defeat is determined on the high-altitude battlefield!

As long as the casualty figure exceeds a certain level, even if Emperor Tian is angry, its plan to counterattack the human race can only be lost.

At that time, he will most likely withdraw from the army, and Shrek City will also be spared.

There is only a very small chance that this beast god will be angry and will recklessly wash Shrek City.

If this is the case, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Up to now, the number of wounded on the soul beast's side is at least more than 50,000, which has exceeded five percent of its overall strength.

Among those injured soul beasts, even if the Jade Swan can heal some of them, but those soul beasts that have lost some parts and components can't be reborn with broken limbs, right?

Such a disabled soul beast must have at least ten thousand thousand.

With a large number of custom-installed soul guide shells and soul guide positions to wash the ground, Shrek City has achieved earth-shattering results in the attack and defense battle of the beast tide.

Just as everyone was resting, suddenly, a low roar sounded in the distance.

Immediately after, all the beasts roared in unison.

It's only been a little over an hour since the last battle, and the beast tide has made a comeback.

The soul masters who were originally in a meditative state struggled to open their eyes, and the whites of their eyes were bloodshot.

Although they all had a resolute look on their faces, they were also despairing.

In an hour, the soul power and energy that can be recovered are extremely limited, and now they are at the bottom.

The soul master is still like this, and the condition of those ordinary soldiers who have just been removed not long ago is even worse.

Shi Xing glanced at the all-terrain self-propelled soul guide battery parked behind him, and sighed deeply.

Fang Cai also said that these big guys should be used at the most critical moment, but I didn't expect that so soon, it would be their turn to fight.

In order to ensure the peak combat strength, these batteries and the corresponding 200 pilots have also not been shot in the previous battles, and they still maintain the most vigorous spirit.

The number of sealed bottles has also been replenished in the past hour or so.

Counting the rest of the previous period, it is about half of its heyday.

The mecha and Zhuge God ballista, as well as some long-range soul guides, can still be used, and in general, they are not particularly desperate.

Just when Shi Xing was quickly thinking about how to deal with it, Xuan Ziwen, who was wearing a white robe for scientific research, walked over.

"Give me the command of the mecha and the all-terrain self-propelled soul guide battery, plus my team, I will guard for you for two hours, and let the others recover quickly." He said in a surging voice.

(Thanks to the 5,000-point reward of the wanton layman boss, add more and postpone it for a few days, and add it together with the monthly pass, plus it after the year, and it really can't come out recently)
